SAFETY POCKET ATTACHMENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 362,913, dated May 10,1887.

(No model.)

To aZZ whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that we, JAMES \VILLIAMS and AGUR Jonson, both of the city tNewark, county of Essex, and State of New Jersey,

have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Attachable orAdjustable Pockets for Garments, of which the following is a full,clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, which form IO a part thereof.

The object of our invention is to provide an adjustable attachment forpockets, whereby a pocket made of leather or any other suitable fabricmay be readily and securely attached to any part ofa garment, eitherinside or outside, and thus provide a receptacle on any part of theperson for holding and carrying money or other valuables.

XV hen money or other valuables are put in the ordinary pocket ot'agarment, they are usually liable to be extracted by pickpoekets orthieves.

Our invention provides a secure receptacle for money or valuables, thatcan be easily attached to any part of a garment that may be consideredmost safe or convenient, and detached without any injury to the fabricof the garment.

Our invention consists of a [lat metallic casing in which there isprovided a revolving bar, on which or to which there is attached aseries of curved hooks, and a springcatch for holding the hooks securelyin the cloth.

In the drawings, Figure 1 represents a side section of the metal case,the revolving bar, spiral spring, and catch. Fig. 2 represents an endsectional view of the metal case and pocket attached, with the hooks outof the cloth. Fig. 3 shows an end view of the pocket and attachment whenadjusted to a garment. Fig. 4 shows the revolving bar and the curvedhooks attached. Fig. 5 represents the outside lifting the hooks into ahorizontal position series of sharp curved hooks, E E, the points ofwhich are adapted to fit into a series of holes, D D D, in the casing,and are thus protected when the pocket is attached to or detached fromthe garment.

F is a spring-catch which serves to keep the revolving arms and hookssecurely in their place by holding of a small flange, G, on one end ofrod R on the end of the arm.

H is an adjustable screw or knob attached to the springeatch F, andworking in a slot on the outside of the case, as shownin Fig. 5. Thelower end of the metallic casing contains a series of small holes, I II, by means of which the pocket can be sewed or otherwise attached tothe casing.

XVhen it is desired to adjust or affix the pocket to a garment, thecatch F is pushed back by means ofthe knob H,and the flange or handle ofthe revolving arm is pushed outward, thus and nearly at right angles tothe casing. The hooks are then inserted in the garment and the flange orhandle pulled back into its place over the spring-catch. Thespring-catch can then be made rigid by screwing the adjustable knobtight to the casing. It then becomes impossible to remove the pocketwithout breaking the hooks or tearing away a part of the garment.

Having thus described our invention, what So we claim, and desire tosecure, is
